The theoretical-methodological approach was based on the notion of perspectivism, by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, on the idea of ​​enunciated, by Michel Foucault and on some symbolic considerations about the snake, from which the myth of the snake was highlighted great is appropriate for each of these authors and the different effects of meaning they produce. While in the texts of modernist writers, the snake does not create its own point of view, as it acts in favor of the colonizer, in Munduruku’s text it is one that produces its own perspective, it acts in the world to ensure its survival, so that it is possible affirm the existence of a mutual perception of how the world expresses itself in snakes’ point of view.
